Initially you were looking for a more flavorful chicken. Did you look at Capon? wikipedia.org/wiki/Capon#section_2 More flavorful than a conventional chicken. I see them from time to time where I am from, not sure about them in NZ.
PS When I bottle it I'll leave enough so that I don't get that fat into a bottle.
If you could crash you'll be able to skim it off the top.

Ok. But how did it taste????
An alternate process I might try is a long boil with a meat in it and keep adding water so the volume doesn't get too low whilst the meat is cooked and then maybe freeze the wort, remove the fat (or use a low fat meat) then heat it up and do the hop boil.

I'll probably go for a better beer too, as I think the standard coopers ale isn't helping the flavour.
And one thing I don't know yet is if the beef flavour develops after time in the bottle.
